‘Kerry worked with us on a project to design and deliver a firmwide Career Framework. Her deep subject matter expertise, ability to work collaboratively with stakeholders and excellent change and programme management skills were key factors in helping us to deliver an excellent product to the business. Kerry was an absolute pleasure to work with and sets a high benchmark for what organisations should expect from consultants.’

‘Cathy was a pleasure to work with. She understood our needs, challenges and was able to produce a report with early quick wins and more strategic longer term matters for us to consider’

‘I would highly recommend engaging Jarred Consulting’

Kerry demonstrates diligence, determination and has an appreciation of the wider commercial agenda. She took the time to understand the business drivers; putting in place fit for purpose processes and provided strategic support. This resulted in her adding value in a very real sense. She’s extremely organised, competent and reliable. Kerry is good at providing priorities for those around her and is focused on delivering results. I have no hesitation in recommending Kerry.’

Kerry immediately just ‘got on with the job’ and very quickly became my ‘right arm’, helping to lead a large team through a very challenging time of restructure.

Jarred Consulting really understand my issues and can partner with me to get results which really work.

“FRS worked with Jarred Consulting to advise on a strategic requirement we had. We were impressed from the start with Kerry’s plain speaking, yet clearly deep expertise in the relevant field. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Catherine whose highly organised, flexible and professional approach meant a seamless service from the outset. Working closely with core members of our senior team, she developed deep knowledge of our business and her commitment to the detail ensured a high quality result that will add value across our global business.

We were delighted to complete the project with a comprehensive toolkit. These are key to helping us align our resources and capabilities to our strategic plan and ensure we harness knowledge within our organisation.

We continue to seek advice from Jarred as we trust their judgment and expertise in the HR, talent and recruitment process fields. We would not hesitate to work with them again.”

Kerry has managed our performance management change project. We are embedding leadership behaviours into our culture and performance process and rating for our senior laser population. Kerry has helped to define and create the approach, specific conversation guidance, leader engagement and briefing materials and the mechanics behind the process. She has supported engagement of the hr population throughout the project. This has involved group calls and communication as well as 1-1 support. Throughout the project Kerry has ensured all parties are kept up to date and driven the project forward in line with the plan.

Kerry was our acting head of HR to cover a maternity leave during perhaps the most eventful 12 month period in the firm’s recent history. She supported on all the groundwork in advance of our merger, in particular implementing a new recruitment and onboarding process and a new approach to benefits. Kerry was immediately credible, had a phenomenal bandwidth and was comfortable both with her sleeves rolled up ploughing through spreadsheets and presenting concepts and ideas to board members.

We worked with Jarred Associates this year on an HR team review, with the aim of future proofing the service for an exciting period of planned growth. Their work was thorough, thought-provoking, and illuminating and they partnered with us empathetically to make workable recommendations that synched well with our cultural goals and ambitions. Kerry and Alison were skilful, open-minded, forthright, and fun to work with – I recommend that you speak to them!
